June is National Aphasia Awareness Month

Aphasia is a language disorder which is usually caused by strokes. Stroke survivors with aphasia may have difficulty speaking, understanding speech, reading, writing and using numbers. As a result, communication with others can be limited and difficult. Aphasia often causes painful isolation.

Aphasia affects about one million Americans.

About 1 out of 4 stroke survivors acquire aphasia.
